LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- Specialists from the 19th Operations Support Squadron survival, evasion, resistance and escape flight, performed freefall jumps from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter June 28, 2018, at Camp Robinson, Arkansas.
The Arkansas Army National Guard aircrew and the SERE specialists train together to keep skills sharp while maintaining the required training for both branches to encompass full-spectrum readiness.
“There’s inherent risk with [freefall] jumps,” said Master Sgt. Edmund Dawejko, 19th OSS SERE superintendent. “The more we train for it, the lower the risks, so when we have to do something real-world, it isn’t the first time we’ve done it.”
